Please desist in these distractions. This is a thread about football.

LOL!

I'm wondering why the astronomers who discovered that little planet didn't have the courage to name it after some prominent football legend.

Lombardy would have been a great name for it. I can think of others.

I believe this "discovery" to be a hoax.

Real astronomical objects in our solar system are named after either 1) the Roman appellations of Greek Gods or 2) synonyms for dirt.

Hawaiian Goddesses -- even those with heads or other body parts shaped like footballs -- have no place in this pantheon.
